Have you seriously read Haunted? It's one of my favourite arcs of the decade.

I labored through their first arc in hopes that it would get better. It didn't.

I could go back and read the stuff that happened after I dropped it that people said was good, but we reviewed that issue in the middle or right after Haunted and it was boring just like their first arc so I don't wanna.

Someone could write story where it made sense for Alfred to dress up in a costume and go save Batman or something, it wouldn't make it a good story.

Also, I wanna say, I'm usually not so... confrontational, when it comes to comics discussions, it's the wuss' way out, but if at some point I object to anyone's opinion, it's never going to be a personal attack.

Didn't they recently make Alfred Owlman in The Outsiders or something equally retarded?

My problem with Pepper being Rescue (apart from the silly name) is that it's just another character who's useful in their role as a non-powered support being dragged into superheroics for no real reason, what does she gain as a character?
Also i don't think Fraction's been writing her that well, from the "oh i have a chest device but i don't want to be a weapon rubbish in the first arc (as well as the magnetic floating thing and Rand copout that was a really weak scene) to last issues "Why should Stark get to live when Happy didn't", she asked Tony to turn off his life support for godsakes.

Also the armor design sucks but that's just one of my problems with Larocca.
